jordanlund , in Ex-bank CEO gets 24 years after falling for crypto scam, causing bank collapse
@jordanlund@lemmy.world avatar

Shit like this is infuriating. I had someone try it on me and I strung them along to see what the scam was.

Basically “invest in my crypto and you can get 3x your money back.”

So I asked them “which crypto?” and I looked it up… they swore there were these limited windows where it spiked in value. Sell at that window and make 3x your money.

So I pulled 6 months worth of history… no spikes. None.

What they do is set up a fake payment portal where money goes in and nothing comes out.

“What they do is set up a fake payment portal where money goes in and nothing comes out.”

They actually go alot further in making the scam seem legit. They setup full trading platform apps that look legit. These apps are listed in the apple store and play store, they even have real real reviews.

You download the app yourself, you setup your profiles yourself. Everything seem legit because you actually setup the acounts.

You then put money into these “accounts”, you watch the value go up and down like it normally would on a stock market. Then when you are happy with your “investment”, time to withdrawal and there’s no money to take out.

Postal service shouldn’t have to worry about operating at a profit.

@CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social avatar

It shouldn’t, though to some extent, it operating more efficiently can be a good thing if the efficiency gains can be gotten without significant detriment to service, because then more money is available for either improvements to the mail service or for other services. Profit does not impy efficiency of course, but making something more efficient can make it more profitable.

homesweethomeMrL ,

No. They’re strangled to pieces as it is.

RepubliQans hate the USPS for reasons and have gone to extraordinary lengths to injure it. It’s bullshit. Fuck that.

They are a service, like the army is a service. It costs taxpayer money and they’re out here selling pencils in a cup to make barely enough to pay everyone. Fund them properly, for fuck’s sake.

Nougat , (edited )

It costs taxpayer money ...

No it doesn't. USPS does not receive taxpayer funds to operate. It's all funded by postage and shipping services.

Edit: Since at least two of you don't believe me: https://www.uspsoig.gov/focus-areas/did-you-know/do-my-tax-dollars-pay-postal-service

Maeve ,

Ask his other efficiency and profit ideas are floundering.

Stop funding the retirement fund 70 years in advance, and they would be operating in the black.

homesweethomeMrL ,

Bullshit. Let them raise money. They’re intentionally hamstrung by idiot rightwing Congresses going back fifty years or more.

TransplantedSconie ,

Funding the retirement fund 70 years in advance is the sole reason it’s floundering! The Republicans did it so it could be eventually privatized and if that happens millions will be absolutely fucked.

PlasticExistence ,

Until just a couple of years ago that was still true. Fortunately it no longer is, but it hasn’t really been long enough to turn such a massive ship around yet.

barkingspiders ,

I didn’t realize this, didn’t get enough press. Another notch in Biden’s belt, that’s fantastic!

PlasticExistence ,

We could have done much worse than Joe Biden as president again, but I’m still glad to see the excitement behind Kamala’s campaign. Hopefully she’ll do a better job of advertising accomplishments.

barkingspiders ,

Right there with ya.

MagicShel , in Andrew Tate placed under house arrest as new human trafficking allegations emerge involving minors

I am shocked! I would never have thought.

… that he wasn’t already charged with something related to children.

bdonvr , in Trump Calls For Gun Confiscation In Fox News Rant: Cops Should ‘Stop And Frisk And Take Their Gun Away’

They know that the police aren’t stopping and frisking THEM so I bet they’d be all for it.

Even the current strains are fucking miserable and if I can even get a decent chance at avoiding it I’ll stand in line.

Pretty sure this was on the topic of gun control, he said “taken their guns away and go through due process later” but his 2Aer followers don’t remember that.
